Determine the horizontal reaction force at A. Let P1 = 175 kN, P2 = 175 kN, P3 = 180 kN, and a = b = c = d = 3.3 m.

The floor of an apartment building is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 41.9 psf over its surface area. Determine the axial load acting on column K.

The floor system of a gymnasium consists of a 110-mm-thick concrete slab resting on four steel beams (A = 9,100 mm2) that, in turn, are supported by two steel girders (A = 25,800 mm2). Determine the point load acting on girder AD at point B caused by dead load.

The change in shear force for a beam between points A and B is equal to _______.

The beam is fixed at wall B. Determine the internal shear force at point C, which is x = 5 ft to the right of support A. Let L = 30 ft, M = 900 lb·ft, P = 750 lb and w0 = 250 lb/ft.

Determine the vertical reaction force at A. Let M = 140 kN·m, w = 50 kN/m, P = 130 kN, a = 4 m, b = 8 m, and c = 5 m.

Determine the magnitude of the largest shear force in the beam. Assume L = 3 ft, P = 700 lb, and w = 250 lb/ft.

The floor system of a heavy storage warehouse consists of a 6-inch-thick reinforced concrete slab resting on four steel beams (A = 18.3 in.2), which are supported by two steel girders (A = 31.8 in.2). The girders, in turn, are supported by four columns. Determine the live load acting on column G.

Choose the equation that will give the largest factored load when D = 34 kip, L = 2 kip, Lr = 10 kip, and S = 20 kip.

The floor system of a gymnasium consists of a 140-mm-thick concrete slab resting on four steel beams (A = 9,500 mm2) that, in turn, are supported by two steel girders (A = 26,000 mm2). Determine the point load acting on girder AD at point B caused by dead load.
